And my God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:19
Paul’s words in Philippians 4:19 can often be misconstrued especially as they relate to the “health and wealth” gospel fallacy (the “Prosperity Gospel”). Just “name it and claim it” has been a mantra that simply does not align with Scripture…especially when one looks at the context of Paul’s letter to the Philippians. The often misapplied verse of Philippians 4:13 (I can do all things through Him Who strengthens me) comes after Paul states he finds contentment in whatever state he is in (rich or poor, hungry or well-fed). This doesn’t sound like a man who promises only good things will follow once we accept Christ.
Paul is thanking the church of Philippi because they sent him a gift. It was not a well-off or wealthy congregation, but they took it upon themselves to support Paul’s work. In turn, he reassures them that God will meet the needs they have. This is a reminder to us today: God takes care of His own. It may not always look the way we expect it to; in fact it rarely does. But He often comes through in a way that exceeds our own expectations. For us, it can be tempting to seek that blessing and be drawn into a “prosperity” mindset. But that path is not one of trust in Who He is, but only in what He can do for us. We must acknowledge that the Lord will provide our daily bread. He shall supply what is needed for this day!
Question for today: Have I seen how the Prosperity Gospel and teachers therein have led many astray in following Christ?
Pray: God I thank You for the fact You supply the need I have today.
